Description
- Tested for the ability to promote neurite outgrowth of chick dorsal root ganglia cells
- Tested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma
- Source: Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) mouse tumor, a tumor rich in extracellular matrix proteins, including Laminin (a major component), Collagen IV, heparin sulfate proteoglycans, entactin/nidogen, and a number of growth factors
- Base formulation: Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium with 50μg/mL gentamycin, with or without Phenol Red
- Solubilized basement membrane preparations polymerize at room temperature
- Mouse colonies routinely screened for pathogens via Mouse Antibody Production (MAP) testing
- Extensive PCR testing is performed to screen for a number of pathogens
- Tested and found negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma
- Protein concentrations determined by Lowry method
- Endotoxin units measured by Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate assay
- Matrigel Matrix gel stability is tested for a period of 14 days at 37°C
- Biological activity is determined for each lot using a neurite outgrowth assay
